_Verses_.--In the original they are--
_Gâdar, ghar kyâ lâyâ?
Kyâ chîz kamâyâ?
Ki merâ khâtir pâyâ._
Jackal, what hast thou brought home?
What thing hast thou earned?
That I may obtain my wants.
The story has a parallel in most Indian collections, and two in
_Uncle Remus_, in the stories of 'The Rabbit and the Wolf' and of
'The Terrapin and the Rabbit.'
